American Cruise Lines (ACL) was founded in 1972 by Charles A. Robertson and his wife, Carol, as an affiliate of New England Steamboat Lines, a company offering day trips on the Connecticut River. ACL initially focused on small-ship cruising, offering hour-long sightseeing excursions on the Connecticut River. The company incorporated in 1991 and has since grown to become a leading U.S. operator of small cruise ships, including paddlewheelers and modern riverboats.
